Should they be interested you can book flight tickets, hotel rooms, ground transport, as well as food. You can provide a package for them with additional 5% for your small profit. Thus you can travel "cheaper". Wan

Yes dear Lonely you may have your opinion. Usually a travel agent will charge for Guangzhou business trip at RM2400 for 5 days 7 nights fullboard, and I'd provide my friends RM2500 Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, 7 days and 7 nights at RM2500, fullboard with ala carte food which they can't find anywhere with this kind of offer. They have the options whom to choose. In fact I'm helping them to save some money for their travel, and I'm doing this almost like my part time job.

It's not about treating friends for lunch, Lonely. It's something I need to take leave, go to the embassy to apply for visa, and the money we have to spend on runner(s). To me it's good business for friends and for me too.

Do you mean if you are a restaurateur when friends go to your establishment you'd be giving them free food? Business is business, dear Lonely, be they friends or even foes. But of course friends will have a better deal. We have to eat our dinners too.
